The N’Arrow house of 2400 square feet sits atop a sloped terrain plot of 2.9 cents site area. The tall and narrow house overlooks nearby valleys through a curtain of greenery. The client who is a police officer by profession, approached us with the challenge of fully functional four bedroom home with uncompromised facilities for his family home, despite the constraints of a 2 stepped terrain and compact site. This essentially meant a sleek compact and practical house maximising space utilisation with proper ventilated space that take advantage of the elevation of the site.

First level (sub ground floor) included a double car parking space, a studio bedroom with kitchenette and a toilet which is semi-seperate from the main house. In accordance to the slope of the site, the entry to the main house is through a flight of stairs adjacent to the site boundary leading to an intermediate landing. This landing space provides a glimpse of the nearby fields. The wide landing step and the planter box at the House entry acts as a front yard space. The stairs further opens up into the main level (ground floor) of the house. This level includes an entry sitout leading to a spacious living & dining space with a wash counter and narrow skylit courtyard space adorned with the texture of rock brick and plants. A fully functional open kitchen with a breakfast counter. This hall of space even with open floor planning, the spaces are segregated well enough. A compact work area is also incorporated with the wise use of the setback space in the rear yard with temporary roofing which includes a compact laundry space and a long cabinet with counter top. This floor also includes a spacious guest bedroom with balcony, dresser and an attached toilet.

A narrow flight of steps made of steel and wrapped in wood , flanked on both sides by white solid walls, opens up to an uninterrupted view of bright blue sky. This stair further leads to the third level of the house which includes a living space, study area with a long balcony opening up to the valley view below. This level also has a master bedroom with master toilet complete with a balcony and wide window glazing.A fourth bedroom is accommodated comfortably with an attached toilet.

The flight of stairs further leads to terrace level which is invited by a compact bar counter and a semi shaded pergola roofed area perching from the heights, overlooking the terrain valley. The skyline of the city sky scrapers is visible at a distance. Towards the rear side, hidden away from direct view is a utility area with a spacious laundry and space for vegetable garden.

The exterior facade of the house embodies a clean and sleek structure wrapped in brick and rough texture finish. The interior of this house is minimalist with essential décor to avoid any possibility of cluttering during occupancy. Ample storage space also has been provided to facilitate maximum space usage. The colour scheme maintained is neutral to warm tones going along with the exterior tone of the house which is inspired by the red laterite soil of the area and the rocky rough terrain.

The kitchen is maintained in darker tone of grey and black while rest of the house are of warm beige and brown tones. The entire house has a thorough ventilation despite site shape, terrain and space constrains. The house opens up towards the north breathing in the light and wind, with openings on east and controlled openings on west and south maintaining a cool temperature for the building.

Conclusively the design approach and the final product met the challenge of an uncompromising quality of space and facilities in a compact multi-level site.
